Chapter 20: Ch.020 Eri: I want a Child.
Ch.020 Eri: I want a Child.
Takuya stepped off the elevator and into the First Investigation Section. He was the target of everyone's murderous glare, their resentment palpable.
If looks could kill, the sheer intensity of the glares directed at Takuya would have reduced him to a thousand scattered pieces, leaving not a whole body behind.
Unfazed by the stares, Takuya went back to his desk and retrieved the documents.
Despite his promotion to Deputy Inspector, his workload remains heavy. Only the status of a Police Inspector can grant him the respect and recognition he desires.
Then, he could delegate the work and just sit in the office.
Faced with any problem, he can with a wave of his hand and immediately set off with a large group of his policemen to solve it.
In the elevator, Officer Shiratori, Officer Takagi, Yumi, and a number of their fellow police officers engaged in a conversation centered around Takuya and matters pertaining to him.
"I hadn't anticipated Officer Fujiwara's stroke of luck. Despite his relatively junior rank, he managed to catch up with Officer Sato." Officer Takagi sounded a little grumpy.
Officer Shiratori, too, was deeply despondent.
Despite only outranking Takuya by one level as a deputy inspector, he boasts a privileged family background.
Despite failing the recent professional exam, his score was very close to passing. He should just keep working hard and aim to pass the test next time.
In the original story, Officer Shiratori eventually became a police inspector halfway.
"So, Officer Takagi, you are also a police officer?Yumi teased, grinning mischievously.
Officer Takagi's expression hardened; he was, after all, just a lowly police officer.
Besides the police inspectors, the elevator contained several individuals of a noticeably lower grade.
The gap, even if smaller, would require considerable time to traverse.
"You might not know that Officer Fujiwara passed the Professional Police Group Exam and is now a Deputy inspector." Officer Shiratori's expression also turned gloomy.
Because he did not pass the exam, unlike Takuya, who passed, does that mean that he is not as skilled as Takuya?
Compared to Takuya, he is currently less successful in his career and also less fortunate in matters of the heart. It's totally depressing.
As soon as Officer Shiratori and his group stepped off the elevator, it became clear to the entire investigation team that Takuya had passed the exam.
Those familiar with the situation quickly accessed the official police website to find details about Takuya.
Police Inspector - Promotion Pending.
He's in his probationary period right now. Successfully completing his probation will make him a police inspector and station chief—a junior leadership position.
Love and career are both thriving—life couldn't be better for that guy.
Unfazed by the envy of others, Takuya closed his eyes and rested. He had a relaxing day off due to lack of work.
"Fujiwara-kun, I heard you passed the Professional Police Group exam. Congratulations! Here is your new police officer certification. "
Inspector Megure arrived and personally gave Takuya his new police identification.
Learning that Takuya had passed the Professional Police Group exam, Megure saw a bright future for him and personally delivered his police officer's certificate.
He reached the top of his career, his position as Senior Police Inspector, entirely through seniority and promotions granted by his superiors.
" Thank you, Inspector Megure. "
Takuya grabbed the officer's badge and swiftly switched it with another. Today marked the start of his career as a true Deputy inspector soon to be Inspector.
Nearby police officers looked on enviously.
Ring! Ring!
A sudden phone call caused Takuya to pick up the receiver, his expression serious.
"Officer Megure, we received a call from someone who reported that a murder had occurred. "
"Okay, let's move quickly." Inspector Megure departed with a small group. The group consists of Takuya, Miwako, Officer Takagi, and Officer Chiba.
Upon arriving at the crime scene, they investigated, searching for clues to solve the case. Takuya was confused .
Despite his superior physique and mental acuity, his problem-solving skills were lacking, showing his average IQ.
The murderers in this world are done by highly intelligent people, meticulously planning their crimes, often resulting in baffling closed-room murders.
He knew only one thing: the inviolable law of the closed room—in the Detective Conan world, a closed-room death was always a homicide, a fact etched in stone.
Though Takuya meticulously went through the motions of investigation—dusting for prints, examining clues—he knew deep down that he was hopelessly outmatched.
While possessing a vibrant personality, his IQ pales in comparison to that of criminals. This is totally insulting.
"Assign me a task, system. This is way too much bullying. The case is beyond his ability to solve. A police inspector can't solve it? Then what makes me any better than the trash? "
Mentally, Takuya assigned a task to Eri's subsystem through his system.
[Ding, you've got a new task!]
Meanwhile, Eri, engrossed in her work and having forgotten about Takuya, was startled by a sudden "ding."
Eri's features took on a gradually more serious cast. Why did that sound seem so familiar to me?
[Ding! As a result of your persistent efforts, you have successfully caught the attention of Takuya.
Please visit him at his Police Headquarters and take the lead in helping Takuya lose his virginity.]
[Rewards: Doing this task will boost your logical thinking skills.
Mission Failure: Mori Ran has three kids with Takuya.]
"I ... go to hell , Idiot system." Even Eri's usually good nature couldn't hold.
Although she was finally ready to have a child, she still couldn't understand why she needed to go to the police station.
The mission's punishment, though, was incredibly severe; Ran Mori will have three children for Fujiwara Takuya while the rewards were alright.
" System , please discuss whether you can let me get a divorce first. "
Eri hesitated and thought about getting a divorce first.
Remember, she is Kogoro Mori's wife and a married woman. It's wrong for her to have a baby for someone else.
[Please complete the task as quickly as you can. If it's not done by the evening, I will make sure Ran gets pregnant with three babies one after another through various means.]
"..."
Eri : System, you are f**king dead!
"Ms. Kuriyama, I have to step out for a bit. You're in charge of the office now. "
In the end , Eri left with a gloomy face.
[I'm upstairs in the Metropolitan Police Department's meeting room. Please come here. There's something I want to share with you.]
After receiving her message, Takuya silently pocketed his phone. Naturally, he understood Eri's meaning; he was the one who issued the mission.
He was responsible for the task, and the system will grant him the reward.
"Inspector Megure, I have an urgent matter, and it may take some time."
"You go ahead."
Inspector Megure didn't think too much about it. Takuya had a great future ahead, so he wouldn't say no to Takuya's little requests.
Takuya took off from the crime scene in his Porsche 356A, heading straight for HQ.
The car's loud noise attracted many onlookers.
The Porsche sped into the Metropolitan Police Department's underground parking garage. Takuya rushed to the top-floor conference room of Investigation Division 1.
Meetings are typically only held for significant issues and will always have prior notification.
The conference room was empty, silent except for the hum of the air conditioner, the perfect secluded spot for Takuya and Eri's secret love affair.
So, why exactly is this an affair?
Their love was undeniable, a deep and abiding affection that made him long to give her a child.
"Lawyer Eri, what can I do for you?"
Takuya totally knew what was up, but played dumb.
Eri blushed, all flustered and unsure what to say.
[System: Please Hug Takuya's waist and say softly, "I want to have a baby with you."]
Just a friendly reminder from Takuya!
'Ugh, the trash system is acting up once more.'
In a shy and initiative-taking move, Eri stepped forward, gently encircled Takuya's waist with her arms, and looked up at him with a bashful expression on her face.
"I wish to have a child. Can you help with me one?"
With those words, Eri went limp and collapsed into Takuya's embrace.
Takuya put his arm comfortingly around Eri.
" I knew it. You took good care of me and spent a fortune on me just to have a kid, right? "
Eri wished she could bite Takuya to death.
It's true she lavished him with a fortune to conceive a child; however, is he not ashamed to so openly boast about it?
"Yes, I'll certainly help you."
[That's all for Now]
I'm out of town, so the next chapter will be in a couple of days. Sorry, everyone!
